Death Stranding 2 director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima seems to be in good spirits after revealing the game's June 26 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:release date in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:combat-heavy trailer shown at SXSW this weekend, cheerily discussing game moments that will make you 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"probably throw the controller" and his behind the scenes desires about needing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码🔜历史查询:"an actor who 'would surpass' M🎃ads Mikkelsen" with fans on Twitter. Kojima's getting more personal, and he's even gotten comfortable with calling Death Stranding 2 by the affectionate nick🅺name DS2 – though, Dark Souls 2 fans may want him to reign that ♊in.

"How was the DS2 trailer?" Kojima afte🤪r Death Stranding 2's𓄧 SXSW showcase.

. "Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls."

"I love DS2," , tacki😼ng on an image of Dark Souls 2's Bearer of the Curse p🍌rotagonist looking mysterious and war-worn.

Another fan chastises Kojima: "Don't you dare using t💮hat acronym for Walking Simulator 2."

In Kojima's defense, Death Stranding 2's most recent trailer – if you're will𒉰ing to watch past the mechanical baby – demonstrates machine gun fire and kaiju stomping, which you probably wouldn't get involved in on a more typical stroll through the neighborhood.

But from 2012 is, admittedly, more spartan in nature. It doesn't bother with long talks and meaningful kisses like Death Stranding 2🉐; it begins with blood spilling quietly over the Bearer's gauntlets and ends in a sudden ๊blast of dragon's breath to the face.

It's pretty medievally awesome, but, , "Dark Souls 2 trailer was nothing like the actual game." Our GamesRadar+ 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls 2 review disagrees, but I'd even say that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware game is by far the wo🅷rst in the Dark Souls trilogy.

So, in this battle for the perfect acronym, may the bes🀅t DS🐻2 win.

Hideo Kojima is still hung up on his ex, as Death Stranding 2 features a Metal Gear Solid doppelganger the director says is the spitting image of Solid Snake.
